How Much Does a Fascia Sign Cost? UK Price Guide

The fascia is the flat board above your shop window carrying your name. It is the single most important sign your business owns, and it is usually the first thing a new business orders. Here is what one costs in the UK.

Flat panel fascia: £800 to £3,000

A flat panel in aluminium composite or folded aluminium with applied vinyl or a printed graphic. This is the standard high street shop sign. A 3 metre shopfront sits near the bottom of that range, a wide double unit near the top.

Trough lit fascia: £1,500 to £4,500

Same panel, with LED trough lights mounted above so the sign is lit at night. It is the cheapest route to an illuminated shopfront and running costs on LED are small.

Illuminated lightbox fascia: £2,000 to £8,000

An internally lit box with an acrylic or flex face, so the letters glow rather than being lit from outside. Bright, even and highly visible after dark, which matters for anyone trading in the evening.

Built up letters on a fascia: £3,000 to £15,000

Individual three dimensional letters fixed to the fascia or directly to the brickwork. Premium look, wide choice of finishes, and illumination can be face lit or halo lit.

What is included in the price

A proper fascia quote should cover design and artwork, manufacture, delivery, access equipment, installation, electrical connection where the sign is lit, and removal of the old sign. Ask any signmaker to confirm all of those in writing, because access equipment and old sign removal are the two costs most often left out.

What pushes the cost up

• Height, anything needing a tower or a cherry picker adds access cost
• Listed buildings and conservation areas, where the council may specify materials
• Curved or stepped shopfronts that need the panel folding to fit
• Out of hours installation in a pedestrianised street or shopping centre
• Planning or advertisement consent applications
